Storm damage refers to the destruction caused to property and infrastructure by storms such as hurricanes, tornadoes, thunderstorms, hailstorms, and gales. Damage can range from minor cosmetic damage, such as broken windows, to more severe damage, such as structural damage to buildings and even the complete destruction of homes.
Fallen trees, wind and hail storms, power lines, and flooding can also occur. The extent of damage depends on the severity of the storm and the vulnerability of the location and structures in its path.

Water Removal
Our service typically begins with a complete water extraction. This helps prevent the spread of water into the structure and reduces drying time. Typically hundreds or thousands of gallons of water are removed by powerful pumps and extraction units during the water removal process.
Removal of damaged material
If any damaged material or item cannot be restored, we will arrange for the insurance to collect the cost and you will be informed accordingly. These materials are normally removed as soon as possible to speed up the drying of all restorable materials.
Cleaning, Disinfecting, and Deodorizing
Water damage can create the need to clean, disinfect, or deodorize floors, furniture, and other personal belongings. RESCUE professionals use a variety of specially formulated products, industry-leading equipment, and proven techniques to accomplish this important aspect of restoration.
Drying
Once the majority of the water has been removed, our specialists use industry-leading drying equipment to remove the water that cannot be seen. This will target the water within the materials so that they return to their normal moisture level. This equipment is typically put in place during the first visit to your property. The type and amount of equipment is based on your particular situation and industry standards.
Monitoring
During the drying process, our specialists will want to visit your property on a daily basis to help ensure materials are drying properly, check the performance of the drying equipment, and make any necessary changes. This monitoring process is critical to effective and efficient drying of your property.
Repairs and Construction
After these initial steps, your home may need construction work to get your property back to its pre-loss condition. The repair step can be minor repairs or rebuilding entire areas of your home. We can simplify the restoration process by handling both the initial damage mitigation and rebuilding the affected areas. Having one qualified company for the entire process can save time and keeps costs low.
